Of course"—kindly—"there are a few Protestants, but they are very few.",Elinor smiled assent, and Miss Jinny went on.,“A Bible text in a frame and with a cord to hang it by. This was the text, ‘God will never, never forsake thee.’”,“Yes indeed,” laughed Mrs. Wopp, who was just then entering the room with a platter of bacon and eggs, “Betty’s our mornin’-glory girl shore nuff, she’s first up in the mornin’, she’s a glory little urchin an’ she’s our little girl to stay.”，"Did you see Elinor?" whispered Judith to Patricia, as she edged her way to her in the packed assembly room.，"From Mr. Moore." A mischievous light comes into her face as she says this, and she laughs aloud. "But, I assure you, not as a love-token. He gave them to me when they were quite babies, and I reared them myself. Are they not lovely? I call them? 'Spice' and 'Allspice,' because one has a quicker temper than the other."，"I have bled for my country, your honour," said the man."Yes.
